Speaking of Orange, former Orange defensive midfielder Paolo Ciferri was officially announced as an assistant coach with the Binghamton Bearcats!
"We are extremely excited to have Coach Ciferri join our staff" said [Kevin] McKeown. " He has been around the game both as a player and a coach for his entire life. His passion and energy for lacrosse will enhance our program moving forward into the 2018 season and beyond. As someone who grew up playing at Ithaca High School, his connections with the local lacrosse community will be invaluable."
And finally, Dylan and Collin Donahue are about to purchase a local sports center in Marcellus, near Syracuse.
